OUR MISSION
The Creative Body Institute is an artist association founded upon core values of experimentation, community, and curiosity. We focus on the body as a site of knowledge and support the creative research of emerging, mid-career, and established artists. Through practical skill-building and mentorship, our curated programs, site-specific residencies, courses, and creative consultation services empower you to sustain your creative practice alongside the demands of daily life.
We study time, space, body, sound, environment, and ecology motivated by a vision for liberated interspecies futures. We work against the systematic erasure of insurgent ecological knowledges and approach art-making as an environmentally conscious and sustainable community-driven praxis. Focused on responsiveness and relationality, the Creative Body Institute functions as a laboratory of embodied exchange where artists can research their burning political questions and confront today’s most pressing societal issues with ingenuity and care.
A world of knowledge pulses with and through you. Creativity is a practice. Nurture it.
